    I suffered some pretty bad body damage, when I backed off the rock I was broke on, my front bumper slammed down on the rock forcing my frame rails up and pushing the tube fenders back in to the tub where it buckled the sheet metal on both sides of my tub..O-well, getting that much closer to turning it into a tube buggy 😏

    Ouch. That sounds like it could mean your hard doors won't fit any more.

    Nice work John. I'm just glad to hear that neither of you had to be towed home. 😀

    Thanks. Did I mention it was a BLAST!!!



    Once you get past the first row of obstacles, it gets easier. You just scratch and claw your way through the squeezes. The scariest part was bending around that rock at the end. My front end got way up there before it finally fell into place. That first row of rocks is brutal though.

    Sorry to see Rob broke/body/frame damage.



    Do you have pictures farther in? It looks like they were all take at the first obsticle. What does the last rock you refer to look like?

    The last rock is the second picture. It was taken after I fell in. There are more pictures, but Rob has them.



    And there is video. But it will have to be edited.

    Cool! Was there a line to the left of the rock? Or, partially over it?

    There is a line over it, but I was better lined up to go around it.

    Dang! 😲 I dont think i ever realized how big those rocks are! All the other pics i have seen are of massive rock buggies, that dont look so massive anymore. Now that i see a jeep in there, it puts it into perspective. Not saying that your jeep isnt big, cause it is! Its just that the rocks are bigger...... 😂
